Preschool P.A.L.S.
Kindergarten-Prep Classes for Ages 4-5
"Play And Learn through Song"
Come play and learn through song in Preschool PALS! While this is not a licensed preschool, our end goal is the same: to prepare students academically for kindergarten. We simply achieve it a little differently, by combining traditional preK instruction with musical fun. The PALS program operates through Mrs. Wenger's in-home music studio, and to date over 60 children have participated in these classes!
Striving for excellence, and to reassure parents of high standards, we've asked for input from Elco kindergarten teachers. Our goal is to equip each child not just for kindergarten success, but a lifetime of learning! Programs run from September through mid-May.
We have 2 levels of class: PreK PRO and FALL 4's. Which is right for you?
-
PreK PRO (3-day): for children turning 4 by 9/1/23
-
FALL 4's (2-day)- REGISTRATION CLOSED: for children turning 4 by 10/15/23
PLEASE NOTE: WE CANNOT SERVE STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL OR BEHAVIORAL NEEDS. We serve children who can function independently within a class setting.
A biblical worldview guides our teaching philosophy. Students hear a weekly Bible story, and God's amazing love for them is repeatedly affirmed!

"My son grew so much socially and academically just within the few months of starting pre-k. Mrs. Wenger and her assistants have done a wonderful job and I would highly recommend them!"
Katie, PreK Parent
"Both of my kiddos who have gone here for prek have LOVED it. If you are looking for a place to send your child that has a great atmosphere, is professional, has small class sizes, and instills great values in your child all while they learn how to interact and get the idea of school then LOOK NO FARTHER...Mrs. Wenger’s prek program is where it’s at!"
Krista, PreK Parent
"Mrs. Wenger's programs have been the perfect fit for our children. She goes above and beyond with the time that she puts into each class. Her organization & communication with parents is impeccable. I would recommend Maple Avenue Music to any parent looking for pre-school instruction or music lessons."
